During a Def Leppard tour in the early 1990s, the band was reportedly transported to the stage inside laundry carts to avoid being seen by the audience. Curry compares this to David Lee Roth's use of a specialized road case to move through crowds during his "Eat 'Em and Smile" tour.

During a recent stump speech, President Biden apologized to the audience for having his back turned to them while speaking. The hosts analyze the awkwardness of the moment, noting that the music was abruptly stopped so Biden could make the clarification. They suggest the apology was unusual given that political stages are typically designed with supporters standing behind the speaker.

A 15-year-old girl named Brennan Leach asked Hillary Clinton a question about body image during a town hall, which the hosts claim was a scripted moment of "stagecraft." It was later revealed that she is the daughter of a Democratic State Senator. The hosts argue that the girl's appearance and question were carefully managed to create a viral campaign moment.
